I've been looking at traditional blades for a bit and I'm a little intrigued by this one.

Blade Steel 19C27 Sandvik specialty steel (Rockwell 60-63)... anybody have any experience with this steel or any opinions about it?
The veeeeerrry little that I know about knives would lead me to believe that 60-63 is a bit too hard for a knife like this. More likely to chip the edge than to roll it... correct?
Slicer or is it the hard work knife that it looks like?
Stick it in a safe or do some serious bush craft with it?
Speculations/thoughts (by those with a clue) on this knife would be appreciated.
